Because to me it seems like a very useful feature for Fuseki. For users it's simpler to think in terms of short properties instead of long urls, so they can submit queries right away without worrying of what is the exact url for a particular prefix. I'm not saying that this is a fundamental feature that Fuseki must have, but rather just an option that would be really useful. By the way, this is already happening with "a". In order to use this keyword, there is no need to use "PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>" all the time. Which I think is really useful because I can remember "a" by heart but I would never be able to recall such a long prefix. Should maybe this be in the SPARQL specifications before Fuseki adds it, the same way "a" is? I could send an email to w3c for consideration.
